- Both the 2024 BMW i5 and 2024 BMW i4 are part of BMW's electric vehicle lineup, but they serve different segments and cater to different preferences.
In essence, the key difference lies in their body styles and intended market segments. The i5 was designed to potentially target the SUV/crossover market, offering more space and versatility, whereas the i4 is a sedan catering to those looking for a sporty driving experience in an electric vehicle.

Direct comparison between the two full electric sedans from BMW.
Not a direct comparison. You should compare the I4 M50 to the I5 M60.
Good video though. 😊
…and batteries are the same size but were stated incorrectly.
Ordered my i5 e40 today... Can't wait.
Glad you’re excited. It is a BEAUTIFUL car! We hope you like it! Was the video helpful at all?
Just ordered my M60 and I am super excited!
I am driving my I4 i4 edrive40 for 6 months now. Perfect daily driver. Great range for an EV and it brings all the typical BMW characteristics with it. Hihgly recommended.
Nice! Thanks for the heads up!
Got my i5 today as well. Amazing ambient lighting at night and for the power, its not as bad. Some people say the e drive is not enough, but it's much suitable if you're daily driving compared to the m60.
Thanks for the info drop! Hopefully it will help people
the i5 is amazing just the range is shit
No ambience lights for the rear doors. Hm
Very good video @VagabondBuilds. Fantastic vehicles. The i5 is the pick of the pair.
Thank you so much for your support. Glad we can be of help!
Getting i5 m60 Vegas red white leather every possible upgrade will definitely be the best car I’ve ever had!!!
Nice! Sounds super exciting!
Glad I saw the very day I was going to order the I5 e40 that the xdrive40 was out. Ordered that, picking it up this week.
Hope you enjoy it!
I have a 2023 I4 EDrive 40. I just could not see getting the I5 at it's price point and specs. It needs to have longer range or be slightly faster. It just basically costs about 10k more for slightly more room and not much else. But I dunno I love my I4, easily the best car I have ever owned.
Glad you enjoy it!
I just my i5 a week ago. I drove the i4 before and it's closer to the 3 series than 5, and the i5 is closer to the 7 series. For the price point I'd go with the 5 but depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for full electric power go for the i4M as show in the video. The i5 edrive 40 has 335 HP and honestly it's not bad at all. Still pulls pretty quick. You can get the 5 with most of the options you see here for cheaper if you go with the 530e which comes out in Spring 24' but that has the same 255hp power and lower ICE builds.
Thanks for the perspective! Hopefully it will be of help to others!
Good review! Took first electric car test drive ever this morning. My due diligence while shopping new BMWs. Also throughout April, BMW will donate 25 trees (Earth Day) to be planted for every new i car test driven. Gotta say, the i4 performed better than I expected, but the foot-off-accelerator automatic braking thing is kinda creepy. I’m old, so sticking to what I know - the B58 under the hood if a G22 chassis.
Thanks for sharing!
I4 still looks pretty ❤
BMW just looks good haha
Bro the i5 looks like a muscle car. That thing is a TANK. I love it. The i4 looks great too. Both cool EVs.
Yeah I agree ☝🏼
Ordered mine today
Nice! Which one?
I5 is one of the best European EVs, only EQS and Taycan are better, but both are much more expensive.
However, if you want the best of the best then you should go for Model S Plaid or Lucid Air.
These cars are next level when it comes to range and speed.
Great review btw.
Thank you for the compliment and the information!
Prefer the classic look of the i5, but what’s up with that single tiny backup light at the very bottom of the diffuser below the bumper?
Yea… that’s the new design. You don’t like it?
@@VagabondBuilds I actually like overall design of both cars, but I prefer the i5 classic executive sedan design a little better. There are just some nuances on both designs that I do not like. For example, in the i4, when sitting in back seats, your direct side view is mainly obstructed by the C pillar. And the battery is pushed up so high, that the foot well underneath the front seats is very limited (I think 3-4 inches.).
Most people may not know these things unless they go in person and review these cars for themselves. I haven’t done the i5 yet, but plan on it soon.
NA needs to bring the Auto Tow Hitch for i4!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Pedals on Steering wheel.
Oh okay. Cool!
Seeing the layout of the iDrive 8.5, I would prefer the 8.0 version of last year's model where the menu shortcuts are to the side of the screen instead of the bottom (where the Climate Control shortcut is).
Burying the Climate Control among those other shortcuts makes it slightly move confusing. In the 8.0 version of iDrive you won't miss the Climate Control and accidentally hit another shortcut because they're segregated. I mention this because those other shortcuts have physical buttons on the controller deck that you can use instead, while Climate Control is accessed exclusively through the touchscreen.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully you found our video helpful.
I really appreciate the side-by-side comparison. I picked the i4, but only because I would have to wait another year for a chance at the i5.
The range is not enough if you drive longer distances.
What range are you looking for?
The plastic window buttons inside the i5 🤢
Is that a make it or break it?
@@VagabondBuilds I think this must be forbidden in this segment. It is not a Volkswagen Polo.
I5 is real.. the i4 is not 😅
Both are real. We filmed them haha.
Are you referring to the fact it's a four-door "4 Series"? I can see them deliberately naming it the i4 so no one confuses it with the 1st-generation i3.
Why didn’t you compare the e40 for both?
Not the greatest review
Any idea we can better the review?
Fake EV, they are modified from the gas version, not designed for electric 😂
The i4, Gx 4 series and iX are easily the ugliest and hideous modern BMWs made. The i5 while not pretty is a huge improvement in styling.
I think it comes down to preference really… you don’t think it will grow on you? A
